At Sodadetour, sustainability is not an add-on—it is a core principle that guides how we design, operate, and deliver travel experiences across Cape Verde. We are passionately committed to ethical, responsible, and sustainable tourism that creates positive impact for our guests, local communities, and the natural environment.
Our Responsible Travel Policy, outlined on this page, reflects our belief that tourism should be enriching and inspiring while remaining respectful of local culture, ecosystems, and future generations.
We believe that well-designed tourism experiences can support conservation, empower communities, and protect cultural heritage. For this reason, we carefully plan our tours to ensure they are not only enjoyable for our guests, but also socially responsible, culturally respectful, and environmentally sustainable.
